The day after the goblin assault on Sandpoint, the town begins the recovery effort. The townsfolk all seem to be aware of the heroic effort that the band put forth to defeat the goblin scourge. As the band travels through town, they are greeted enthusiastically by people taking them for battling the goblins. The baker gives Nim a fresh loaf of bread, the brewmaster gives Seamus a bottle of his latest brew, all the town seems grateful.
The sheriff contacts the band and asks that they meet him in the barracks for a discreet matter. When the group arrives, Father Zantus is waiting there too. There is a matter that the Father would like investigated, a break in at one of the crypts in the boneyard next to the new cathedral. After agreeing everyone heads over to the boneyard, and the Father waits in the sanctuary. The door to the crypt is open and when the band goes inside to look around, they are attacked by two skeletons. After dispatching the undead, the disturbed tomb belongs to the former priest of Sandpoint, Father Ezakien Tobyn. The sheriff would like to keep everything kept confidential for now.
After returning to the Rusty Dragon, the band catches up with Aldern Foxglove, the noble they rescued from the gobin attack. He invites the party over and buys them a round of ale. He pays each band member 50 gold as gratitude, and invites everyone to a boar hunt the next day. After agreeing, he leaves saying he has to attend to his preparations for returning home, he just vacations in Sandpoint.
Just then a woman and her child arrive at the inn asking for help. Her son had been complaining about a monster in the closet, and it has turned out to be a serious problem. The mother pleas to the heroes of Sandpoint, and everyone heads over to the Barett house. Once inside, they head straight up to the child's bedroom. It quickly becomes apparent that the monster in the closet is a trapped goblin, and that Alergast Barett died fighting it. The party immediately attacks the goblin, even though Seamus lands a sound blow to the little vermin, Nim brings it down with a splendid shot from the crossbow. Amele is thankful, but becomes distraught when she finds out about her husbands death. The party donates 15 gold pieces to help relocate the Baretts to Magnimar with other family.
The next day the party decides to investigate the paths the goblins took to get into the town. After finding evidence that the goblins deliberately took the hidden game trails to approach the down. And that a medium sized humanoid had accompanied them, then wandered into down through the main gate. The band also met with the Sheriff and a ranger that keeps an eye on the area goblin tribes. The party gets general survey of the goblin groups, as well as some recent intelligence that the goblins have stopped their usual infighting and are rallying together.
Returning back to Rusty Dragon, the party is met by the barmaid who is worried about Ameiko. Going up to her room, the barmaid shows them a note that, translated, reveals that her brother has summoned her to the glassworks. The barmaid is sure he is up to no good.
The band heads up to the glassworks to investigate. Searching around, they enter the glassworks through one of the secondary entrances. Searching through the main level, the party finds no signs of life and a large murder scene. Finally in the furnace room, the group catches a gang of goblins frolicking about. The battle has started, and after dispatching several of the goblins, the green skinned menace realize they are fighting the longshanks that drove them out of Sandpoint and flee. The band recuperates, preparing to search further...
